A new add on plots the shortest route to check those points!  Choosing wow profession and becoming an expert need wow goldThe more wow gold you have, the more wow stuff you can achieveTips of making wow gold are numerous, the best and quickest way is to buy wow gold in an online wow gold store or professional wow gold websites, from where you can get wow gold with reasonable priceWhile Gatherer Add on had been the gold-standard mod for capturing and recording spawn points for Herbs and Ore, Cartographer now does it, in addition to plotting your path.

Here's what to do:

1Go to the Professions Tips forums at makewowgold.com and check the thread 'Map Route to find Ore/Herbs' to find out how to download the add on.

2Once in the game, you should see a small Screw icon on your minimapClick that and choose the map add on from the list of add ons (other add ons will appear if you have them installed).

3Configure Herbalism/Mining to display how you want itYou'll know it is working correctly if you open your map and see a ton of ore/herb symbols all over the place(Unless you're in a city, obviously....then just chose a zone that should.)

4Add and configure Routes from the Routes screenI walk through that belowBefore you do, I recommend you change the global setting of the Route size to the minimum (I think it's 10)The default is like 35 and puts quite a thick line on your map that can actually block you from seeing the spawn points.

Routes:

1From the configuration screen (which you get from clicking the Screw icon), choose Routes, Add.

2Give your route a nameStart with something like "Netherstorm Ore All".

3Choose the zone of the map the route applies to(ie: Netherstorm for the example)

4Click the Data dropdown, and then check on all that you want to findFor now, start with all of them (Fel Iron, Adamantite, Rich Adamantite, Khorium)If you can see your map, you'll see that it basically draws a line from every spawn point to every other spawn pointNot very helpfulThat's why the next step is so important.

5Optimize! I choose the 'Extra Optimized' option, and optimize in the fore-ground(doing it in the background lets you keep playing WoW while it calculates the route...I just prefer to let it get the route done faster.)

TA-DA! You should have the most efficient (shortest) route that will circuit the map and hit every spawn point along the way!

The other thing you can do is create shorter routes based on fewer spawn pointsDon't choose EVERY type of data, but instead choose just one, such as AdamantiteLet the route be built on Adamantite onlyWelcome to wow goldWe are a professional, loyal and reliable wow gold store onlineWe supply wow gold to our loyal customers that you may buy cheap wow gold on our websiteWe provide the cheapest wow gold all the servers and customersWe have available stock of wow gold on most of the serversMaybe you are only interested in Adamantite because it sells better on your server than Fel IronYou can shorten your route a bit...and you can still see Fel Iron if you happen to fly over itYou just won't go out of your way to check a single Fel Iron spawn point.
